nature Must Have ITS Way

We have become nervous people because
we do not sleep and recuperate. l nsver
have seen five Americans that slept too
much: rarely have known one who slept
enough. There is no escaping the one great
law that life depends on rebuilding regu-
larly what is used up by daily activity.
Therefore 1 say, as far ar possible, retire at
au early hour aud a regular hour throughout
life. 1t will leugthen as well as strengthen
your days beyond any and all habits. The
great folly of our modern life is the snpposi-
tiou that there can be any substitute for
sleep. The stupidity produced by narcot cs
is mockery. 1t stops waste to degree in
repair. The function of true sleep Is repair.
OF all the narcotics that which gives the
nearest resemblance to sic p is chloral hy
drate. But its operation is SO violent that
it rapidly degeuerates both the heart and
the brain. When it does not kill outright it
produces evils that are worse than death
semi-l macy and heart disease. No drug has
yet been discovered that can give us warrant
for disobed ence to natural impulses. Break
up your habit for sleep, and you are at once
in danger Put yourself under the power OF
drug, and you will be a slave more com
pletely than any negro who ever obeyed and
suffered in rice swamp. If your bondage
has begun you must break it by returning to
natural habits, or you will die miselably'
There is no escape from the dilemma. Return
to nature.
